"Oh, it's fine, dear," Sakura said, smoothing her skirt. She glanced around, and spotted a small hole-in-the-wall eatery that seemed to have only a couple of tables tucked inside. "And how about that cafe over there?" she suggested.

Sakura picked the table furthest from the windows, though in such a small place, there was really nowhere hidden. "Oh, no bother. This is my husband, David. I'm Sakura," Sakura said. "And please, order whatever you like. I admit, with my three away at school, I'm having a mothering withdrawal," Sakura said, teasingly overdramatic. The boy seemed skittish, too alert for such a young boy, and hadn't mentioned parents when she invited him to come with her. A rather unhappy suspicion was developing in the back of her head...

Sakura perused the menu, hoping the boy didn't cause a scene. She nudged David, and flicked a glance at his waist pouch. Grinning, David reached into his bag. "So, I hope you don't mind birds," he said, pulling his hand back out with the miniscule elf owl perched on his finger. The bird bobbed his head and blinked at the boy.

Sakura sighed. Flicking her wand free, she cast a quick notice-me-not charm on their entire table area, then levitated a cup. "Call it professional curiosity, if you must. I didn't feel any wires, so I was wondering how you did that trick." she said, lowering the cup before casting Orchideous, causing a colorful bouquet of flowers to appear.

"Yes, it is," Sakura agreed. "As was what you were doing. You might have noticed though, that no one else seems to use any of your real magic tricks, that there is always some explanation. That is because real magic is secret, and has been since the times of the witch burnings." Sakura paused. "Jeremy, for you to be able to direct your magic so well without knowing this, you must have been using it for a while," she said. "Is...there a reason you would be using your magic so much? Most young wizards use their magic only accidentally, in times of high emotion or stress."

Sakura didn't really want to ask this, but she had to. "Jeremy...are your magic tricks how you earn money to live on?" she asked gently. Her wand rested on the table in front of her, innocuous under her fingertips, pointed at the wall. She didn't want to scare him, but she didn't want to lose the boy either.

Sakura knew no one got that good at wandless magic that young, purely for fun. If you didn't need it, the magic simply wouldn't come at that young an age, not in such a controlled manner, without high emotion to drive it.

In a flash, Sakura's wand snapped towards the boy. "Adhaero![" she said, quickly using the sticking charm on the spot where the boy had been a moment ago. If he had apparated, she'd look a touch silly, but if he had just vanished, he'd be stuck to the visible chair. "That was a sticking charm, mister. Becoming invisible is not polite. Please show yourself," she said in the firm tones of a mother speaking to a misbehaving tween. "If you want lunch, the waitress will need to be able to see you."
